Instant Eggnog !
Eggnog has virtually the same ingredients as ice-cream – egg yolks, whipping cream, milk and sugar. Legendary bartender Harry Craddock worked this out in the 1920s at the American Bar at the Savoy, when he created the white cargo, blending equal parts gin and vanilla bean ice-cream. He garnished this frosty masterpiece with a grated nutmeg. For Christmas, try this classic with a dark rum or a scotch whisky.
Makes 1 glass
good vanilla ice-cream 50ml
aged rum 50ml, or whisky (or whiskey)
nutmeg
Combine the ice-cream and the spirit in an empty cocktail shaker. Shake without ice. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and grate nutmeg over the top.
